Meg and Merlin: Making Friends

Description

Meg treasures every moment that she gets to spend riding, and she has always longed for a pony of her own. She knows Mum and Dad can't afford a pony - they can't even afford her weekly riding lessons any more. But on the morning of her tenth birthday, Meg looks out the window to an unbelievable sight ... a pony standing in the front garden. Have all of Meg's wishes come true? Award-winning author Tanya Landman brings a fresh perspective to horse-riding stories with a heart-warming new series about friendship and dreaming big.

Tanya Landman is renowned for her thought-provoking, prize-winning novels including the beautifully "deft and dark", Carnegie Medal-winning Buffalo Soldier. In 2019 she won the Scottish Teenage Book Prize for her critically acclaimed novella One Shot. Tanya says that she loves how writing allows her to daydream - something she was always in trouble for at school!
